Great Basin Life exists on the fringes … between … high desert expanses and majestic mountain wilderness.

Daily, I watch the winds of change sweeping away what remains of our western culture and heritage, and the land that has produced them.

After many years of roving, I returned to my hometown: Cherry Creek, Nevada (population 20). My mission is to preserve as much as I can of that which will soon vanish, through photography.

My work has been published in Nevada Magazine, JPG Magazine, and has been exhibited as far away as the American Chamber of Commerce in Vilnius, Lithuania. I am a founding member of Steptoe Valley Photographers’ Association, and vice chairman of McGill Revitalization Association (McGill, Nevada).

If you ever get out this way, I will be happy to show you around ….
